She confessed Christ at an early age, under the leadership of Rev. Joe Wren of Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church. She later moved to Markham, Texas, and joined Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, under the leadership of Rev. James Harrison. There she remained a faithful member until her death. She served as Assistant Secretary, and later became Secretary of the church. She was faithful in all departments of the church. To know her was to love her. Her sweetness and smiling disposition won her many friends. She was always willing to help others. She's not dead, but sleeping in Jesus. She shall never die, but will be resting for the life where sickness nor sorrow shall never come. Irene departed this life on Tuesday, May 29, 1979 in the El Campo Memorial Hospital, El Campo, Texas. By her passing, she leaves one daughter, Mrs. Emily Williamson of Markham, Texas, one son, Willie Boone of Bay City, Texas, one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Otha Temple of Bay City, 22 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great-grandchild, one sister and brother-in-law, Mrs. A. R. Caston and Sam Caston of San Antonio, and a host of other relatives and friends. Funeral program
